It's not Halo's own thing. Heard it here first, team.

Trust us, feels like halo. Etc...
Except I'm joking. I liked most of Halo 4's music aside from the main menu wail.

Kazuma's work was good. Davidge should stick with non-halo projects.

Is it just me or are the Hunters WAY more aggressive in Halo 3 ODST compared to Halo 3?
They are, all of the AI got buffed from 3-> ODST

It is very appreciated. I never noticed that back then and now I wish Halo 3 had this ai.
Yeah.
They also taught the wraiths how to lead their shots. Needless to say I died a lot to wraiths in my first ODST run.
Then in Halo Reach, they kept part of that AI and then taught Wraiths how to fire backwards.
very good to hear. Thanks, stinkles

Yup. That worked.

ODST Hunters were awesome.
EDIT:
EDIT:
Yeah that was definitely a big part of it, how weak you were as an ODST. That tense feeling you'd get when encountering tough odds to overcome felt good.
I think that was more of how they made ODST troopers weaker than Spartans.
One thing I love about ODST is the way crouch walking is. Really love the body sway and how you feel like your sneaking.
Speedy will be devastated.

Never really liked U4iax or whatever. His attitude isn't news to me. When is it ever okay to talk to ppl like that? I get the politics and all but the man is human.Can we blame the man for going in to hiding?
Can see why THC went to flames doing "business" with someone like that managing it.
And Relic is an okay map. Not my favorite. But the remake looks like it plays well for this Dlc. May not turn out popular in the scene but I don't think that was the intended design.

See, I never really got that impression. You weren't really any weaker than a Spartan, you just didn't have the shield bar outlined.

those all seem like weaknesses to me!
There wasn't too much of a reduction in your strength, which was probably due to the concessions to gameplaythey weren't going to remove boarding and flipping vehicles. But all the other weaknesses, return to health packs, definitely contribute to feeling weaker.

listen to the mad man
Take it how you will, but it's right about the controller and the alan wake stuff, alot is questionable is however.
please don't do this unless you want to be held responsible if it doesn't come true; this is obviously nonsense. the conferences are not part of E3, they are separate private events booked at different venues. no one has access to the teleprompter for multiple events. you don't even need to read the list to know the person described does not exist and thus the list is bogus. the fact that most of the entries use european-style title capitalization, many of the things mentioned are confirmations of very specific names and rumours from a long time ago ("comet" expansion--from bungie's 2008 contract with activision); sega owns the outrun brand. it's not even remotely believable. please don't post this stuff.

Your Pit work is amazing, Over. Very impressive.

I still don't know how to take them down effectively. I usually just run past'em, lol.
And yet... there's still something about the classical colour-change that just makes it special.
I dunno. Gold Hunters just seemed like WOW, even though it made no sense.
I was just thinking back to Golden Axe days where you'd get blue/red/green/grey baddies of different difficulty, I guess. The Elites had that in droves throughout the series, so why not the Hunters? I guess...................

Anyone think they'll ever add Halo Reach? I'm leaning toward no.
Maybe release it as a standalone remaster, but... probably not.
This reminds me: a remake of Dino Park Tycoon is long overdue. Money in the bank.
Halo.
Halo 4 had a decent standalone soundtrack. It just wasn't as memorable as the original themes that Halo has had and a lot of it didn't feel lime it meshed with Halo's identity from an audio standpoint. I'm really excited to see what Kazuma comes up with for Halo 5 though.
Some kind of Vanilla Chocolate Swirl of the Halo theme would be amazing.
I loved them so...

Ohhh interesting. Have you beaten ODST on legendary before? If not, how was it overall beating it for the first time for you??
Beating it on Legend felt so rewarding because it was, imho, next to CE one of the hardest campaigns in all of the fps halo games.
Still dunno why this never got a sequel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park:_Operation_Genesis

Dude, it talks about ODST HD in the fourth fucking line. Why even post this?

Spike grenades seem absurdly effective in Normal. Don't know about Heroic or Legendary.

Holy fuck, Remnant performs terribly. It's like Stonetown, but worse.
Anyone have trouble with the audio log achievements not unlocking? I was trying to get them earlier when I noticed that the 11th never popped but the 12th did. I tried quitting and reloading the game and even playing the 11th log again from the VISR. Unfortunately, the game throws you a checkpoint after getting a new log so I can't go back to retrieve it again. It's not stuck on the "Unlocking" either, it just didn't unlock to begin with. Any fix for this?

Yeah, it's a different story on Legendary. I can peg them with several grenades and they're still going strong.
Edit : Speaking of ODST achievements, I got a "four kills with one grenade" achievement after killing just one or two grunts with a frag, lol.

I would think the suppressed SMG would be pretty good at killing Hunters considering how heavily anti-health it is.

The fuckers never turn around long enough for me to aim at their back. I've only encountered one pair so far in my current play through, but their melee reach was INSANE. I couldn't let them get close to me, and I could rarely flank them. So I just high tailed it to the next section.

It gets really choppy for me sometimes when I'm around the central structure. It's happened in every game I played on it. In custom games when walking around the map by myself, it happens a little, but not to as great an extent. It's a similar issue as I've had when playing Stonetown, which has happened since the game released. I'm glad you haven't had issues though.
You didn't throw grenades nearly as far and they had a much larger lob to them. Also, and it's been a while so correct me if I'm wrong, you ran slower and didn't jump as high.
I beat it on Legendary when it first came out, but six years later, it felt like a new experience. I just had a blast playing it. Some of the fights, especially against the ridiculously aggressive hunters, were extremely satisfying when I was victorious.
This is my first time, though, going through H2 on Legendary, and now I finally understand the Jackal Sniper phobia. I'm shuddering right now just thinking about them.

Basically the same way you take them down in other games? Lure them in, strafe when they charge you, hit them in the back.

The grenades not traveling as far and the jump high being lower are true. Not sure about movement speed though.
